Bob Hunter Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I thought it might be interesting and informative to look at the variety of swords, crowns, crowns and swords, sabers, symitars, crescent moons, EKs, wreaths, campaign clasps(authorized or not) and various other attachments that appear on our ribbon bars. If something terribly interesting shows up we can start a separate thread on the subject.I will begin with the swords and crown on the Reuss ribbon.

Bob Hunter Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Although not imperial these devices qualify as unusual and infrequently encountered or in Das Chairman's words scarce.
